You can't pick some up on the black market?

I feel for ya...I know the feeling and it sucks. And every month after you've suffered thru hell for a few days you say you will never do that again, but you do...we'll i do anyway...

can you call around to your friends to see if anyone is on something similiar to borrow like 10 to get you to wednesday? I am not sure if the ER will give you your meds but if you do try, say the cat knocked them into the toilet, the cap flew off and you couldn't save them all. Don't ever say you took more than prescribed bc that may flag you as a drug seeker and they could notify your doc... If anything, go to the ER and say you threw your back out and can't walk...so at least you'll get some muscle relaxants...

Good luck!!!

Well either get some from someone you know. Do you take Klonopin or any other benzo? Or just temazepam? When I run out of Klonopin I just double dose my valium.

You can go to the ER they will help you.

Yes they probably will be able to help you. I doubt they would allow someone to go into severe benzo-withdrawals considering how dangerous they are.

That leaves you what, 4 days short? Over how long a period? Your best bet is honesty (as much as possible). Say you've been taking benzo's for 4 years. Tell them your dose. Tell them you just realized that you ran out early. Explain you aren't sure how, but maybe you forgot and accidentally double dosed a couple of times. Tell them sometimes the benzo's can leave you a bit confused.

Best of luck. I have had panic attacks before, and that was WAY more than enough experience to convince me I never want to be hooked on benzo's. What goes up must come down. And with benzo's, from what I have heard and read, that's a terrible experience.

 

[Dunno]

Yeah just be honest & you should be right

 

[Dunno]

use some codeine ??

The ER is definitely at least worth a shot, I'd imagine.

About a year ago a friend of mine who was like the biggest Benzo addict of all time went to the ER 'cause he was in severe withdrawal (some kid broke into his house & stole all his Benzos, & even though that actually DID happen his doctor didn't believe him 'cause he'd lied about that happening in the past)... The doctor or whomever that he ended up speaking to in the ER told him that doctors actually are totally not allowed to stop prescribing Benzos to someone who's developed a physical addiction to them without giving the person 30 days notice prior to ceasing to prescribe them Benzos, to give the person a reasonable amount of time to find a new doctor & all that I suppose. So for a month he was able to get his Benzo scripts from the ER.
Of course, laws like that would differ from state to state, but considering how horribly severe Benzo withdrawal can be I'd definitely imagine that most ER doctors would definitely do something to help lessen the withdrawal for people in situations like that.

Maybe a urgent care place would be more cost effective for you. They will help you... and if you let it ride you could end up at the ER because of this anyways. So I would go to Urgent care and if that fails then go to the ER.

Do you have insurance?

well see i had a doctor who was supposed to help me. he told me he wouldnt prescribe my dexedrne spansules a few months back and i could find another doctor to do it so i did. i went back he had raised my dose from 2mgs to 4mgs of klonopin a day and now wont see me. i cannot afford er but if i have to i will go but i cannot go to the one i went to last time as they treated my like an addict and refused any help but that was with stimulants. im very pissed off because ive been on this for 4 years and i will hallucinate if i dont have my medicine. and i will most likely seize into a ball. it would be bad thats all i can say. im running out of both klonopin and temazepam i dont care about the temazepam just the klonopin i have 6 fucking pills left. i was told if i can wait till monday i could see a doctor so i scheduled a 10am apt and im not doing good on 3mgs but its manageable. im extremely pissed off and dont know what the fuck to do im not going to waste money on another doctor but when i talked to the nurse she said well if you cant wait go to er so im thinking this doctor will help. she said ill end up there anyway from the sounds of it if i cannot wait till tomorrow and i can but uggggghhhh. fucking pieces of SHIT!
